1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Sexual minoritized men (SMM) experience disproportionate rates of eating and body image disturbances relative to their heterosexual counterparts due, in part, to exposure to sociocultural pressures (e.g., community-specific body ideals, minority stress). Research often represents SMM as a monolith, precluding an understanding of within-group heterogeneity. There is a lack of research examining differences between SMM based on intimate partner preferences or sexual self-labels, including "top," "bottom," and "versatile." The present study examined how thinness- and muscularity-oriented eating and body image disturbances and sociocultural variables (i.e., sexual minority and intracommunity stressors, tripartite influence model variables) differ across sexual self-label subgroups, including those not identifying with any label. Participants were SMM between the ages of 18 and 30 (
